Most memorable was the lovely home of Sophie Nusslé and her mother Margaret overlooking the Mediterranean from a lovely locale on the Costa Tropical in Andalucía, southern Spain ~ A little slice of paradise with great thanks to my hostesses extraordinaire beyond compare 💖
...and lunching by the pool! Purrrrr-fectly heavenly!
I wanted to call my son to tell him to sell the house in Pennsylvania which would allow me to buy the vacant home across the street! The only hitch is Spain won't let non-Spaniards reside full time in the country so one must have the ability to reside elsewhere six months out of the year and my finances didn't stretch that far (sad face) ~ nonetheless I was VERY happy to spend time in this wonderful locale with these magnificent hostesses. Quite content was I making acquaintance with Sophie and her mother Margaret and their other houseguest Naomi Ozaniec, prolific and celebrated world renowned author (you can find her many offerings at Amazon), Hm-Neter, and Teacher- Initiator Into the Khemetic-Hermetic Tradition of Sacred Science*. We talked of travel and families and the Goddess Hathor. With dinner we drank wonderful wine from the Rioja region. One evening we traveled back up to Granada and enjoyed visiting the magical Alhambra at night under a full moon with flamenco guitar music rolling up the hill from the cave dwellings below.
Later that evening we enjoyed listening to more wonderful flamenco music complete with a dancer providing a "floor show" while we dined on sumptuous tapas.
It was steep climb to the top
Sophie, Naomi and me
Naomi, Ness and me
Gorgeous view...
... in either direction you looked.
Finally, the icing on the cake was a 3-day rendezvous in Madrid with my sister Mary Alice (who resides in England) that also included a day trip to Toledo too!

¡Olé!
